S.E.X. Review~ Studio Orders by Morticia Knight

The head of Global Pictures Studios, Vincent Franklin, promised Jack Stone that he would take care of Jack’s loyal driver, Juan. But for a dominant man like Vincent, Juan’s natural submissiveness causes him to long for much more from the shy young man.

Juan is devastated when his only friend, film star Jack Stone, leaves Hollywood for good. Lonely most of his life, the shy young man has dreamt of love, only to have his heart broken repeatedly. Before he left, Jack made certain that Juan would be taken care of by asking his ex-boss, studio chief Vincent Franklin, to hire him on.

Vincent Franklin is an incredibly controlled and meticulous man. Not given to emotional outbursts and unnecessary flights of fancy, his temperament is ideal for the stressful and demanding job as head of Global Pictures Studio. He leads a carefully concealed private life, his only social outlet being the S&M club to which he belongs. When Jack introduces him to his handsome chauffeur Juan, he is struck by how naturally submissive Juan is. He wonders…

Soon, Juan is falling for the elegant, older man that is his new boss. He’s also thrilled when Vincent asks him to be his personal valet. But there are things that Vincent demands of a lover that Juan knows nothing about. Things that could make him run away from the man that would do anything to protect and care for him.

Reader Advisory: This book contains strong elements of BDSM.

Publisher's Note: This book is best read as part of a series but can be read as a standalone.

Studio Orders, Gin
& Jazz Series #5 was a treasure to read. Morticia Knight delivered a powerful expose on dominance and
submission in a time of hidden desires. Vincent Franklin realized the gem given
to him the day he agreed to look after Jack’s friend and ex-driver.

Juan, a natural submissive, loved Vincent and wanted to
please him. The two formed a bond which transcended societal roles. Ms. Knight grabbed the topic of BDSM
blended it with domestication and created Vincent and Juan’s story.
Sadomasochism, secret topic and precursor to modern BDSM clubs gave life to Studio Orders.

Vincent, a Dominant in profession and home took his
lifestyle very seriously, separating the two, but traveling in the same circles
as those like-minded. He, along with his mentor, frequent a sadomasochist
establishment where Vincent displays and hones his craft. Never realizing the
missing piece of his life- a submissive of his own, until he met Juan.

Juan had always felt different, not only because he fancied
men, but because of his need to serve. Vincent’s employment allowed him to
fulfill his goal of servitude until complications of love surfaced.

Ms. Knight
permitted Vincent and Juan to form a domesticated BDSM relationship, where Juan
assumed the womanly roles (as told by
Juan) with his fulfillment stemming from pleasing and serving Vincent. Never
did the author treat Juan as less than Vincent as he assumed his new role. In
fact, Ms. Knight kept true to the
BDSM credence that the submissive holds all the power.

Although submissive,
Juan held Vincent in the palm of his hand as his service brought contentment to
both men. Additionally, Ms. Knight’s characterization
of Vincent, the strong Dom and studio head, was putty in Juan’s hands and love.

A mature venture from an exceptional writer. Morticia Knight, this reviewer salutes
you!
